I wanted you to know,
What has happened to me;
Has really served to show,
In the Gospel to see.
For it has become known,
Throughout of the whole guard;
That we are not alone,
Knowledge not that hard.
For have been confident,
Advanced certain of bonds;
That it is evident,
The Scripture corresponds.
I have much more to speak,
Proclaiming without fear;
For His Word that I seek,
To honor and revere.
Some preach Christ from envy,
But others from good will;
Some with a rivalry,
Try to falsely instill.
One preach in contention,
Others do it in love;
Having comprehension,
Of the Word from above.
Knowing that I am here,
In defense of the Word;
I honor and revere,
In everything heard.
But the other of love,
Knowing that I am set;
Defense backed from above,
Who had paid our debt.
Only that in a way,
Whether pretense or truth;
To promise to obey,
Or as crudely uncouth.
For Jesus is proclaimed,
And in that I rejoice;
Since I am not ashamed,
In lifting up my voice.
I know that through your prayers,
On my expectations;
With full courage that shares,
Building new foundations.
